Rotary Am Am at Glencruitten Golf Club on 8th June 2025
This year's Am Am was again a significant success and, in the main, it was played in good dry conditions and the standard of golf was high with 38 teams participating.
Once again our thanks must go to the golf club and its staff for the excellent condition of the course and the hospitality provided to the participating teams and visitors. As usual we had a team from Dunblane Rotary and two ladies teams participated in striking and colourful outfits.
At the top of this page is a link to a list of the teams participating and contributing to the day. The raffle and silent auction raised a total of £1,320, an excellent return which will be shared between the two local charities. I would like to particularly thank the four Spreadbury girls who assisted David Mudie and his team in selling the raffle tickets. Needless to say I would wish to thank all the sponsors and participating teams in making it such a successful day in raising funds which will be primarily distributed amongst local good causes, youth organisations and charities. Although the financial figures are not yet been finalised but we believe that we shall be close to the £13,000 mark.
Above are the winning team, "McCamley & Laird".
38 teams took part in the competition with visiting teams from Dunblane, Glasgow and throughout Argyll. The competition saw a large number of high scores which resulted in the main competition for the Oban Times trophy being won by the local team of "McCamley & Laird”. The runners-up prize of the PDK Shellfish Ltd trophy was won by another local team, "Scott's Shankers", with the third team prize of the Bank of Scotland trophy, sponsored by Oban Port Users, going to "The Old Codgers". The competition for the coloured ball, sponsored by E Thornton & Co, was also won by the team "The Old Codgers".
Dalmally Golf Club who have recently been strong supporters of the tournament entered three teams and the team of Dalmally 1 were successful in winning the prize for the leading visiting team.
The day concluded with the prizegiving being introduced by Eddie Thornton, Am Am Convenor, and presented by President Peter Tosh. During the prizegiving, Peter thanked all the participating teams, sponsors and donors and the golf club’s ground staff, catering and bar staff and all who contributed to making the day such an excellent event.
